"M pu! what evils do environ
The man who meddles with cold iron
Ah me' what evils do environ
The man who rides on railway iron!
The scalding Bteam should boiler burst
The general smash, should wheels give way;
Collisions, cinders, smoke accurst?
And horrible high fares to pay'
In dizzy whirl the prospect flies
Belore La dazzled, wilaered eyes?
Tb? most he sees some frightened horse
Bounding along at headlong speed?
Supposing Satan come, of course,?
And liking not his novel steed,
Or meeting train on t'other rail.
That rushes by like nor'west gale?
Or Station man with flag of red.
Upright and moveless, as if dead!
W ithin a neighbor reaideth "Punch,"
Another makes a sort of lunch,
Clang, clang?clang, clang the engine goes,
And still the smoke salutes the nose?
And still the cinders thickly fly,
* rill most of them are in your eye;?
Your eyes you close them out to keep,
And hope at least some moment's sleep,?
When sinking into blissful ease?
Hem' Show the tickets, if you please!
The ticket shown,pop, comes a tunnel,
As pitchy black as e'er was funnel?
Or like, I trow, te that same region.
Where dwell the imps whose name is legion,
This avenu* of darkness past,
The "terminus-'' is reached at last;
But if hera terminates the rail,
Of soeet this doth not end the tale!
'Mid sorters* coachmen, dirty hots,
And snout* and oaths, and varied noise?
Ywrta crowded here and trod on there?
"Laid, sir, I wish you would take care
My pet dog's fool?you've stepped right on it?
On, mercy! I shall lose my bonnet!"
"Put down that trunk! this Cab's engaged.
Bow-bow! look out! the other train!"
By this timfc,if not too enraged,
Your efforts have not been in vain;
Your luggage, rescued from the wreck,
Soqie waiting vehicle will deck;
Whirled for five minutes o'er the stones,
Lost temper and belabored bones,
And charged* I warrant double price;
This is superlatively nice! ..
Oli! if ae?ds be that I must travel.
Pray 1st it be on good hard gravel?
Give me a nag; that wears a saddle?
Adieu rati lea rs and Steamboat paddle!
MATERNAL KINDNESS.
By Mrs. A. B. Welby.
My heart grew softer, as I gazed upon
That youthful mother, as she soothed to rest
With a low song, her lov'd and cherish'd one?
Tbe bud of promise on her gentle breast;
For 'tis a sight that angel ones above
May stoop to gaze on, from their bowers of bliss.
When (nnocence upon the breast of Love,
Is cradled, in a sinful world like this.
A Mother's Love?by Mrs Norton.
n . .Sweet is the image of the brooding dove!
Holy as heaven a Mother's tender love!
The love of many prayers, and many tears,
Which changes not with dim declining years?
The only love which on this teeming earth,
Asks no return for passion's wayward birth.
Cheerfulness?from the German. ?
See bow the day beameth brightly before us!
Blue is tbe firmanent, green is the earth;
Grief hath no voice in the universe chorus;
Nature is ringing with music and mirtk
Lift np thy eyes, that are looking in sadness;
Gaze! and if beauty can rapture thy squl,
Virtue herself shall allure thee to gladness?
Gladness! Philosophy's guardian and goal.
Conscience?from Byron.
Yet still there whispers the stnall voice within,
Heard thro' gain's silence, and o'er glory's din;
Whatever creed be taught, or land be trod,
Man's conscience is the oracle of God.
i " Patriotism.
Sweet land of my kindred, blest land of my birth!
Tbe fairest, the dearest, the brightest on earth!
Where'er I may roam?bowe'er blest I may be,
My spirit instinctively turns unto thee!
From the National Intelligencer.
THE ORPHAN BOY.
"He faded yet so calos and meek,
180 gently wan, ao sweetly weak."
The bustle of tbe fight was over; the
prisoners had beeB secured, and the decks
M ashed down, the watch piped, and the
schooner had once more relapsed into mid
night quiet and repose. 1 sought my ham
mock and soon fell asleep. But my slum
beifl were disturbed by wild dreams, which
like the visions of fever, agitated and unner
ved me, the late strife the hardships of my
early life and a thoufand other things min
gled together as figures in a phantasmago
ria. Suddenly a hand was laid on my
shoulder, and starting up I beheld the sur
geon's mate.
"Little Dick, sir, is dying," he said.
At once 1 sprang from my hammock.?
Little Dick was a sort of protege of mine.
He was a pale, delicate child, said to be an
orphan, and used to gentle nature and from
the first hour I joined the schooner, my heart
yearned towards him, for 1 too had once
been friendless and alone in the world.?
He had often talked to ire in confidence,
of his mother, whose memory he regarded
?With holy reverence, while to the other
boys of tbe ship he bad little to say; for they
were rude and coarse, he delicate aud sen
sitive. Often wh?n. they jeered him for his
melancholy, he would go apart by himself
and weep. He never complained of his lot
though his companions imposed on him
continually. Poor lad! his heart was in the
grave with his lost parents.
I took a strange interest in him, and had
lightened his task as much as possible.?
During tbe late fight 1 had owed my life to
him, for he rushed in just as a sabre stroke
was levelled at me: and by interposing his
feeble cutlass had averted the deadly blow.
In tbe hurry find confusion since 1 bad quite
forgotten to inquire if he was hurt* though
at the time, I inwardly resolved to exert
all my little influeiwe to procure him a mid
shipman's warrant in requital for his service.
It was with a pang of reproachful agony,
therefore, tlist I leaped to my feet?
" My God!" 1 exclaimed, Myou don't
mean it? He is not dying?
M1 fear sir," said the messenger, shaking
his bead sadly, "that he canuot live till
morning."
*' Ana have 1 been lying idle here I
exclaimed with remorse. * Lead me to
him!"
"He is delirious, but in the interval* ol
lunacy he asks for you sir," and as the man
spoke we stood beside the bedside of the
dying boy.
The sufferer did not lie in his usual ham
mock, for he was hung in the very midst ol
| the crew, and the close air around it was
loo sliding; but he had been carricd under
the open hatchway, ami laid there in a little
open space ol about four feet square! From
the sound of the ripples, I judged the schoo
ner was in motion, while the clear blue sky
*een through the opening overhead, and dot
ted with myriads of stars, betoken that the
tog had broken away. How calm it smiled
down on the wan face of the dying boy?
Occasionally a light current of wiud?oh!
how delicionsly cool in that pent up hold?
ed died down the hatchway, and lifted the
dark chesnut locks of the sufferer, as with
his head reposing in the lap of an old vete
ran, he lay in au unquiet slumber. His
ahirt collar was unbottoned, and hischildish
bosom, as white as that of a girl, was open
and exposed. He breathed quick andhea
u /i_ ^ *ie w?unt* which he was dying
had been intensely painful, but within the
last half hour had somewhat lulled, though
even now his thin fingers tightly grasped
the bed clothes, as if he suffered the greatest
agony. ?
? A battle stained and gray haired seaman
stood beside him, holding a dull lantern in
his band, and gazing sorrrowfully down
upon the sufferer. The surgeon knelt with
his finger on the boy's pulse. As I ap
proached they all looked up. The veteran
who held htin ahook his head, and would
have spoken, but the tears gathered too
chokingly in his eyes.
The surgeon said?
I "He h going fast?poo? little fellow?do
you see. this?" a* he spoke he lifted up a
neb gold locktt, which had lain upon the
boy s breast. He has seen better days."
I could not answer for my heart was full
?here was the being to whom, but a few
hours before J had owed my life?a poor
"WM-ljf"? before me,
With death already written on his brow?
and yet I had never known his danger, and
never sought him out after the conflict?
Sf??WL erfe n,y heart reproached me io
that hour. They noticed my agitation, and
his old friend?the seamtn that held his
head?said sadly,
"Poor little Dick?you'll never see the
fk h#Ve w,shed for so long. But
there 11 be more than one?when log's out.",
he spoke with emotion?"to mourn over
you."
Suddenly the little fellow opened his
eyes and looked vacantly around.
" Has he come yet?" he asked in a low
voice. ? Why won't he come?"
I r i."J *m, here'" ?aid 1 teking the little
DiekT" "d?nn y?U kn0W me'
He smiled faintly in my face. He then
said,
"You hare been kind to me sir?kinder
i kD Dlos* P^ple are to a jwor orphan boy.
I have no way to show my gratitude?un
less you will take the Bible you will find in
HIS ^U0 m' r !t s a 8mall offering, 1 know,
but its all r have."
I I burst into tears he resumed.
i/.I>^,tor' lam tying, ain't 1?" said the
little fellow, "for my aight grows dim. God
bless you Mr. Danforth."
I Can I do nothing for you Dick ?"said I
"you saved my life. I would coin my blood
to buy yours."
"i have nothing to ask?I don't want to
ule~? y' ,f il'8 P??sible let me be buried
by mother?you find the name of the place
and all about it in my trunk."
" Anything?everything, my poor lad "
II answered chokingly.
? The little fellow smiled faintly?it was
like an angels smile?but he did not ans
wer. His eyes were fixed on the stars flick
ering in that patch of the blue sky overhead.
His mind wandered.
"It's a long ?long ways up there?
but there are bright angels among them?
Mother used to say that I would meet her
there. How near they come, and 1 see
sweet faces smiling on me from amonc
then,. Hark! is that music?" and lifting
his finger, he seemed listening fora moment
He fell back, and the old veteran burst into
tears. J he child was dead. Did he in
deed hear angel's voices ? God grant it.
CHRIST, the MINISTER'S EXAMPLE.
The Saviour himself first published his
own gospel to man. " Then preached he
the gospel of the kingdom in their villages
and cities. As a preacher of the everlast
mg gospel, Christ is a model and perfect
example of every Christian minister; and
not only should this class of men in the
study of the Scriptures, sit at their Master's
teet and learn his words, but should gaze
upon the portraiture which the inspired
penmen have drawn of Christ as a preach
er in the great congregation, and seek to be
like him in the several respects in which he
stands out as a glorious model of just and
effective preaching.
1. In the subject matter of his preaching,
he is our example. The subject of Christ's
sermons, was always some doctrine or duty
of consequence. The sermon on Ihe mount
contains more true divinity, more subjects
important for men to know, than the entire
system of all teacher*, who bad come be
fore him. At one time Christ discourses
on the necessity of repentance, regeneration,
faith, and a new life; at another, on the
chaiacter of God, and man's duty to love
him supremely, ami his fellow man as him
self; again, the worth of the soul, on his
| own sufferings, on heaven and hell, time
?nd eternity. Our Saviour opened not his
' e S "UbjeCt m,lter of hls d?
kliul i m?8t so'emn an?l important
tations no e.Ma>'8' no ,ow di,Pu
? "i ' , quibbling# in the falsely called'
tSStH l'h'1Kho?l? Ever/subject
partakes of the solemnity of eternity ; and
he speaks as a messenger from the eternal
God to men. Who that gazes upou ihe
Divine model, can introduce light and tri
n?ng subjects into his solemn ministrations,
and dwell on nou-essentiuls instead of the
bread of life for souls ?
. f ^ manner of preaching and in
styi", Christ is the minister's example. We
have supposed there was always something
m the manner of Christ, solemn and stri
king?that while lie was dispassionate and
calm, there was an earnestness and an
unction which led his hearers to feel that
the preacher felt what he proclaimed. Jn
manner impressive, solemn, inspiring re
spect lor himself, and especially for his
teaching, Christ could never be an example
in subject or manner, to such preaching a*
should. excite in his hearer^ the vain and
risible feelings of our nature. He who
never laughed, would not preach to make 1
men smile. And in style Christ i* our pat-1
ern. Always simple and plain, yet elegant
and often sublime, he always spoke in such
language, and employed such metaphors
and illustrations as his hearers could easily
comprehend. And this is the style of the
best ministers ; and is to be sought for, ra-l
tber than a pedantic and studiously learned
? y e. 1 he great mass ol your congrega
tion are to be instructed, not the fancy of
i the few gifted.
3. in boldness and fidelity, Christ is a
I for every Christian minister. The
gentle Saviour, whose tenderness would
[not break the bruised reed, knew well
when to proclaim the truth in words that
burn. Sine were attacked, and the guilty
dressed with " ye generation of vipers,
[ low you escape the damnation of hell."
,7 lhe a*e at the root of the tree,
and did not content himself, or think to
uihl his ministry, by gently lopping off
the branches, and leaving the tree of sin
fulness yet standing. No matter Whether
?n high or low places, sin was faithfully re-i
buked, and no matter whether Pharisee or
a Publican, "thou art the man," thundered
I ?U uTn 6uilly conscience. So it was
with the Apostles ; so should it be with the
I faithful minuter of the Cross now. Now
what, a lesson should the fidelity tof their
aster impart to the time-serving minis
ters, who, dumb on the great sins of the
times, cringe and quail before an erroneous
pu ic opinion, succumb to ask certain men
in the society what they shall preach, and
ear to eome boldly to rebuke ain, as the
messengers of God to men. Not so do we
learn of Christ.
4.. In holiness of life, and in consecration
of hu work, is Christ an example to gospel
ministers, In holiness apd j%?wsecration
, more l?a" ,D sP.arkling talents, lies the suc
[ cess of the ministry..** reconciliation?
Men of much fervent prayer, men of deep
toned piety, are the-men who have been
wise to win souls, and the most successful
ambassadors of Jestis Christ, My brethren,
| "ere we have Christ our glorious example ;
I 'n no other feature does he more atri
! kmgly become our example, and in no othei
respect is it more important that we copy
out the example, than in his holiness and
consecration to his work. Our success must
depend essentially on this point. Let i?s
rise higher in a holy life, and allow, nothing
to interfere with our consecration to the
[ ministry, and then we shall not run nor la
bor in v&in.
THE CROSS AMD THE CROWflf.
BY REV. T. H. STOCKTON.
| I see Him step on Cavalry, and not an
atom trembles. 1 see Him nailed to the
I wood. I see His upward look of pitying
I love, and hear , His praver?" Father ! for
give tficnt, the^ kngfw tot what they do '"
I see Him hanging faint, i? the noon-day
darkness. ITiear His last cry?" It is fin
ished !" and see His head fall,upon His bo
i som in death.
Sudden as the shock of the earthquake
my soul thrills with the truth. Quick as
the rending o? the veil of the temple, the J
veil of my mind is parted, and the glory of
v*od shines in upo* it.
1 s?e^,at there was one sacrifice too
great for Christ t?rmake! H* was willing
to leave the Throne of the Universe for the1
manger of Bethlehem ; willing to grow up
as the son of a poor carpenter; willing to
be called the companion of publicans and
sinners ; willing to be watched with jealous
eyes and slandered by lying tongues, and!
hated by murderous hearts, and betrayed
by friendly hands, and denied by pledged 1
lips, and rejected by apostate priests and a
deluded populace and cowardly princes:
willing to be sentenced to the cross, and to
carry the cross, and bleed, and groan, and
thirst, mm! die on the cross,-but he was not
willing to wear an earthly crown, or robe,
or wield an earthly sceptre, or exercise
earthly rule ! That would have been too
great a sacrifice! He did, indeed, endure!
e crown of thorns, and the cast-off purple I
and the reed, and the cry-- Hail, King ol
the Jews . But this was merely because
he preferred the mockery to-the reality : so
pouring infinite contempt on the one, not
only by rejecting it in the beginning of His
ministry, but also by accepting the other at
its close.
A Godlike sacrifice! I see it. I see it?
The blood of Chnst was an atonement for
the*ins of the world ! "He was wounded
for our transgressions, He was bruised for
our iniquities, the chastisement of our peace
iTealedr" ^ bj H" '"'J*' We are
1 ?ee it. His burial hallowed the tomb:
the breaking ol the seal on His sepulchre
was the breaking of the seal on every sep
ulchre ; the ascension of His humanitv to
Heaven, is the warrant of our ascension :
and its entire and eternal perfection, exalted
as it is, " far above all principality, and
power, and might, and dominion, and every
name that is named, not onlv in this world,
but also in that which is to* come," is the
assurance of our own perfection, in all the
honors of joint-heirship with Him, in the
many mansioned House of His Father,
where he has "gone to prepare a place''
for us.
Young Fox and Old Goose. An infirm
old gentleman was found by a rogue, moo
ing sadly at something lost.
"Whats the matter sir?" said the fel
low.
"Oh, sir, a villain has just stole my gold
laced hat from my head, and ran away with
it?" " Tt
"Why don't you run alter him?" asked
the rogue.
"Bless your heart, sir, 1 can't run at all
1 cau hardly walk."
"The dure you can't" said the rogue,
k'and he stole your hat?"
" Yes he did, sir."
"And you can't run?"
"Not I."
"Nor catch him?"
"No."
"Then here goes for your wig?" and ac
cordingly, pulling off that thatch for the
head, the fellow went off like a shot, and
the old geutleman was 1 eft as bald as a

"that the Lord has opened my mouth with

"A Similar event," replied the latter,

DR. C. A. Van Zandt's Health Restora
tive Pills is a medicine which not only cures
but prevents disease, capable of great results, and
equally calculated to be safely used for apparently
small ones. We all know how dreadful and dan
